So on Tuesday at work I stumbled across a little rainbow. Unfortunately I missed out on the leprechaun but my little pot of treasure awaited. There upon boxes and boxes of stuff delivered to our office was a heap of second hand books. Did someone know my birthday was nigh?
Mel and I searched all through these two boxes of books, collaborating a mini library for the bookshelf up at Stringybark. There in the midst of dust bunnies, sneezes and dead spiders lay this book. "Something beautiful for God." Ahh... I'd finally found it. A book on Mother Teresa's life.
What an amazing woman. To think that a life lived simply devoted to her King could impact the world in the way she did. Of course I imagine she would have struggled living in slums surrounded by death, disease and destruction. But obedience and perseverance prevailed.
I love her. I love what she stands for. I love her cheeky smile and I adore her humility. She was gracious and overflowing with a heavenly love. She was in all of my opnion...
Beauty!
Can't wait to finish the book- soo excited to finally have found something on her.
"What the poor need more, than food and clothing, is to simply be loved and feel wanted."
- Mother Teresa
On the 5th September, Mother Teresa would have passed away about 13 years ago. Hmm... can't wait to chill with her in heaven.
